Is it possible to auto populate the date in a child row based on the parent row?

Amelia Retureta

I'm using an agenda template with form submission and am hoping there's a way to automate the date once a topic row (child) has been moved under a specific meeting (parent). Any assistance would be great.

Hi @Amelia Retureta

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes! You could use the PARENT function to reference a specific parent cell, but you might have to add a so-called helper column.

Something like this.

=PARENT(Column@row)

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
